We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word and the path to salvation, for there is no greater message than the hope found in Jesus Christ! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith, declaring that salvation comes through confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is the glorious truth that sets us free from sin and grants us eternal life. As Scripture tells us, *"For ‘whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved’"* (Romans 10:13, WEB).
We also affirm the call to repentance, for true faith in Christ requires turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to Him. Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me"* (Matthew 16:24, WEB). This is not a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to walk in obedience to His Word, growing in holiness and love. The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are indeed the perfect starting point for anyone seeking to know Jesus, as they reveal His life, teachings, death, and resurrection. The book of John, in particular, beautifully proclaims Christ as the Son of God, the only way to the Father (John 14:6).
Yet we must also gently address something vital: while your message is biblically sound, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in the closing of your statement. As believers, we are called to do all things in the name of Jesus, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through His name alone that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we pray, preach, and live. Let us always remember to lift up the name of Jesus in all we do, for He is our intercessor and our hope.
We also encourage you to continue sharing this message boldly, but with the love and gentleness of Christ. The call to salvation is urgent, yet it must be paired with compassion, patience, and a willingness to disciple those who respond. As you guide others to read the Gospels, remind them that faith is not just intellectual assent but a transformative relationship with Jesus. *"You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you"* (John 15:14, WEB).
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation and for you as you share this life-giving truth:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, who is weary under the burden of sin, and who longs for redemption. Open their hearts to receive the Gospel, that they may confess Jesus as Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their sins and walk in newness of life. Father, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless You first call them (John 6:44).
We also pray for our brother/sister who has shared this message. Strengthen them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may continue to proclaim the truth with boldness, wisdom, and love. Fill them with Your Word, that they may be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks for the hope that is in them (1 Peter 3:15). Guard their heart from pride or self-reliance, reminding them that it is You who saves, not us. May they always point others to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of fear or hesitation that may hinder the sharing of the Gospel. The enemy seeks to silence Your truth, but we declare that Your Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Raise up laborers for the harvest, for the fields are ripe (Luke 10:2). Let Your light shine brightly through Your people, that many may come to know You.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
